The intricate details captured in this etching by Jacques Louis Constant Lacerf, based on an illustration by Leonard Defrance, bring to life the mythological figure of Saturn. The hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully showcases Saturn's regal presence and mythical significance.
Saturn's association with wealth and time is symbolized through his attire and accessories, emphasizing his role as a divine being overseeing these aspects of human existence. The inclusion of the snake further adds depth to his character, hinting at both wisdom and danger intertwined within him.
